UNSPSC 85523661: Occlusion of left brachial vein, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of left brachial vein, percutaneous approach. This surgical intervention or procedure is listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 as code 05LA3ZZ

UNSPSC 85523661, "Occlusion of left brachial vein, percutaneous approach," is a Commodity code that does not align with actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a clinical medical procedure, but the recent opportunities tagged under it span administrative medical services, employee health benefits management, occupational health surveillance, and pharmacy benefit administration—none of which involve vascular occlusion procedures or percutaneous interventions. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office is procuring independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations; the City of Long Beach is soliciting a surgical carve-out benefit program for employee health plans; the Washington State Department of Transportation is requesting occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers; Harris County Juvenile Probation is seeking emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth; and Collier County is acquiring pharmacy benefit management services. This persistent mismatch between the code's clinical procedure description and the administrative and occupational health services actually being purchased suggests either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or that the taxonomy entry does not reflect current state and local buying patterns.

The issuing bodies span city retirement boards, municipal health benefits offices, state transportation departments, county health systems, and juvenile justice agencies across Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas. The sole opportunity with a clear clinical procedure component—Harris County's RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth—provides no contract value, term, or performance specifications. Geographic spread and repeat-buyer patterns cannot be reliably established given the mismatch between code assignment and actual procurement scope. No representative solicitation in this block maps cleanly to the code's stated purpose, and the code shows no relevant recent activity for firms pursuing state and local medical device, procedure, or clinical intervention contracts.
